Tassie Spoiled Rotten

:

Tassie Spoiled Rotten

Tassie was probably the center of attention next to her older brother Christopher. Tassie being the first granddaughter

on the Boots side of the family, that is. She must have been spoiled just like her older brother Chris. Tassie always got what she wanted. Three of us girls, Lula, Rena, and I, took turns taking care of her when she was little. Even her grandparents, John and Theresa Boots, spoiled her. The reason they spoiled her was because she had my late grandpa Dick Boots' namesake. But we also teased her a lot. One thing we teased her about was her big ears. She still has them, but I only wish she would use them.
